There's a large party thrown once the ponies from Appleloosa and the buffalo reach a truce. But during the party, Little Strongheart takes a second to look over at the apple trees in a new light. A curious Braeburn decides to find out what she's up to.

Short and simple answer, it's about death.

Given how literally the ponies control the sun and moon, I wonder if they have some sort of magic corpse cannon to chuck dead people into the sky.

Dunno about people, but definitively ponies. :pinkiehappy:

Quite the serious story you have here, given the nature as how Buffaloes are always stampeding in the savage lands, it would mix well that the reasons were to find new food and escape famine in addition to bury their dead in unmarked graves who they honored by stampeding through regular routes. Would provide a good reason as to why the buffaloes are active with defending their the stampede location, but at the very least, both parties in the end are peacefully satisfy.Really makes a good lore about spiritual beliefs to the buffaloes and their culture in Equestria, as how the ponies would with the stars.

Overall, nice oneshot, I like the the effort you put into it.

This was a nice little oneshot that, despite its short length, managed to introduce a bunch of pretty cool ideas. Nicely done.

This is nothing short of inspired. It is well written, gives a wonderful explanation for the buffalo stampede, and captures Braeburn and Strong Heart's personalities so well.

This story deserves so much more attention than it has gotten. I'll see what I can do about that!

Edit: Now featured on my world building favorites box. May not help much, but it's worth a shot.

Very interestig.

wow............ that...... that is deep........... I like it.

You sir have earned a :rainbowdetermined2:. take it and use it well.

Oh how romantic!!!!

I lust say that this was an excellent read. To develop more on these two$s personalities and beliefes was something I have never thought of exploring before. You also have a good sense of flow too which makes this story even better than I had hoped for. I applaud you for such an entertaining one shot and can't wait to hear more from you. Keep up the good work! -ElementOfHope:twilightsmile:

“Well, where do ya think stars come from?”

aka. Twilight is Death's Princess

Ooooh. That last line gave me chills. In a good way.

Huh. This was deep.

Like, REAL deep. I loved it.

You bring up a lot of question quickly, but just as quick, you resolve them. And that end!

“Well, where do ya think stars come from?”

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Huh. I was pleasantly surprised by that. It had some clever ideas that made a lot of sense. And I like the line at the end.

This gets a like from me. Good work.

Interesting little story, even though it would have really benefited from proofreading.

Beautiful story, a true work of fanfiction!

Nice character interaction. I like the belief behind the stampeding and the idea of Strong Heart and Braeburn showed interest in each other's culture
